Appeals Panel Clears The Way For Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan

A three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled on Monday that the federal government has the authority to deport individuals residing in the country illegally, even if local officials oppose such actions. The ruling comes as the Biden administration transitions out and President-elect Donald Trump signals a return to hardline immigration policies.

The 29-page opinion, authored by Judge Daniel Bress and joined by Judges Michael Hawkins and Richard Clinton, upheld the federal government’s preeminence in immigration enforcement, effectively countering local and state attempts to obstruct deportation operations.

At the center of the case was an executive order issued in April 2019 by King County Executive Dow Constantine in Washington State. The directive prohibited the use of a county airfield near Seattle by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for charter flights deporting foreign nationals. The county argued that the move was within its rights to prevent federal immigration policies from disrupting local communities.

However, the court’s decision firmly rejected this argument. The ruling arrives just weeks after Trump’s reelection, a result many attribute to his promise to reinstate and expand deportation measures. Trump’s transition team has already signaled plans to implement a series of executive orders to expand deportations and reduce asylum protections.
